First Grade students are finishing their math unit on shapes.This unit has also covered fractions. We will complete the assessment next week, and will then move on to our measurement unit. Our Standards: MCC1.G.1 – Distinguish between ( open/closed, number of sides and angles) attributes versus non-defining attributes (color, size, orientation, overall size), build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes. MCC1.G.3 Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of
Our Essential Questions: EQ: How are shapes alike and different? How can shapes be described? How can we divide shapes into equal parts? How can we be sure that we have equal parts? Why is it important to divide into equal parts? How can you show half of something? How do we know when parts are equal? How can we divide shapes into equal parts? What is half of a whole? What is a fourth of a whole?
Keep practicing reading skills. The A-Z readers are a perfect way to work with sight words and predictable text. As your child learns more words, please help him/her notice them whenever you see them in books or on signs.
AR (Accelerated Reader) starts on Monday, 1/14. Your child may read books, take comprehension tests on the computer, and earn rewards! Please see the information that came home on Thursday, 1.10.
We are finishing up our work with Americans in history. We are currently learning about Harriet Tubman, and we have been writing about each American as we learn about him/her.
